Method

Toss the chicken, garlic, ginger, onion, coriander and chilli into a food processor and season well. Blitz until the chicken is finely ground and everything is well mixed. Use your hands to shape six small cakes.

Heat the oil in a frying pan, then fry the cakes over a medium heat for about 6-8 minutes, turning once. Serve hot, with sweet chilli sauce, lime wedges, coriander, shredded spring onion and red chilli.

Made for dinner but didn't have onion or coriander. They were a little bland for me, but I'd try them again with all the ingredients to see if that makes a difference. They fried easily over a low heat. Served with couscous and salad with a drizzle of sweet chilli sauce.

Made these but forgot to put in olive oil and omitted onion. Put in extra garlic and some za'atar spice that I'd bought and didn't know what to do with. Made into 12 patties and grilled either side for few mins. Made it even easier than frying, held shape and tasted great.

I made these for a Christmas Day canape (with smaller portions) and they were absolutely amazing. So easy, so fresh and so fragrant everyone absolutely loved them. I used chicken thighs instead of breasts, and I added all the ingredients EXCEPT the thighs first and gave them a quick pulse as I'd read that some people thought they were a bit mushy. I also didn't have any green chilli, but instead used a squirt of sriracha which was lovely. Thanks very much!

We've just finished eating these and they were really lovely. Really easy to make and really tasty. We served with noodles and sweet chilli sauce.
The only suggestion I would make would be to use a hotter chilli!

Really easy. Turned out lovely. I served over noodles with sweet chilli sauce. I always use chicken thighs as I find them more moist.

This was lovely! I did it with turkey mince in the food processor instead as it's what I had in the fridge and it worked very well. Served with a shredded red cabbage, carrot and lettuce salad, with a dressing made of soy, honey, lime and sesame oil. Yum!

Yes they are mushy, but so are thai fishcakes when u make them, and these are pretty much the same thing. I love these and shall continue to make them. So easy and tasty. Not able to rate but 5/5

Really delicious, but I found it best to make them small as they hold together better. The bigger ones I made first time round fell apart when I tried to turn them over in the pan
